CHAPTER XXVI

All the orders were delivered, and Pei Min had been waiting in the Jiedu Mansion.

He was waiting for Li Longji's order.

The festival degree envoy has a lot of power, especially Pei Min, who is the festival degree envoy, and the power is not ordinarily big.

In addition to the military monopoly of the Jiedu envoy, he also served as the envoy of Hexi, and was able to meddle in the administrative affairs of Hexi.

But no matter how great the power is, there is a limit.

The power in Pei Min's hands was limited to Longyou and Hexi.

That is to say, in Longyou and Hexi, you can "act arbitrarily", but if you go out of Longyou and Hexi, you will exceed your authority.

Even if he knew that Anxi was in trouble, Pei Min couldn't send troops to Anxi to rescue.

The power of the envoy is to defend the land.

Strictly speaking, only when Hexi and Longyou encounter military threats and are attacked, the power in Pei Min's hands will be reflected to the greatest extent.

Anxi is not Pei Min's obligation, even if he knows the danger in Anxi, he can't directly send troops to Anxi.

Sixty-one orders, quick and decisive, but all around one point, rubbing the edge out of bounds.

Wang Han is the one with the highest level of military strategy under Pei Min, and Pei Min has always trained him to the military staff and has always put him in charge of military affairs.

After more than a year of training, Wang Han is already very talented in this area, he is smart, and he has made a lot of progress, and he was the first to realize the intention of Pei Min's series of orders.

"Does Childe think that Broken Leaf City can't hold it, or is he worried that the Anxi Army can't resist the invasion of the Turks?"

Facing Wang Han's question, Pei Min's eyebrows revealed a hint of melancholy, and said, "Both!" It is almost a sure thing that Broken Leaf City will not be able to hold it, it has not been prepared, and it is the pressure of the army, and the troops are at an absolute disadvantage. As for the Anxi Army, I only hope that Fumeng Lingcha can deal with it calmly and not fight for the first place...... It's just that it's unlikely. ”

Fumeng Lingcha is Du Xian's deputy, and Du Xian knows his ability, but the imperial court does not know.

Du Xian certainly hoped that Fumeng Lingcha could take his place.

But the brisk and intricate court is intricate, not to mention Du Xian, even Pei Min doesn't dare to say that he can grasp all the movements.

Everyone has selfish intentions, how can they not have a spiritual vision?

The deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the envoy of the Xixi Festival, the first leader of the military and political affairs of Anxi, the king of the kingdoms of the Western Regions.

This seat is too tempting.

Now the Anxi incident is the time to test Fu Meng's spiritual inspection.

If he was able to turn defeat into victory and lead his soldiers to tide over the difficulties, it would not be easy to prove to the central government that he was qualified to defend Anxi.

The deputy protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, the position of the envoy of the Moxi Jiedu is almost none other than him.

However, Fumeng Lingcha's poor performance means that he is not enough to replace Du Xian and cannot be recognized by the imperial court, no matter how much Du Xian affirms Fumeng Lingcha's ability, it is useless.

Fumon Lingcha will definitely use this opportunity to show that he has sent troops.

The number of Anxi troops is not large, but it is in the early 20,000s, which is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Only by mobilizing the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu and mobilizing the troops and horses of the annexed countries such as Khotan, Yanqi and Shule to deal with the Turks together can they have a chance of winning.

Fumeng Lingcha is not Du Xian after all, and he who has just taken on a big responsibility, it is impossible for him to be recognized and convinced by the countries of the Western Regions.

The generals don't know the soldiers, the soldiers don't know the generals, and the three armies don't return to their hearts, unless Fumeng Lingcha has the resourcefulness and command level of Han Xin and Li Jing, otherwise the odds of victory are really worrying.

was waiting for Li Longji's new round of orders while Pei Min was waiting.

The carrier pigeon also transmitted Pei Min's emergency military information to the imperial front.

When the military information was transmitted, it was just in time for the early dynasty.

Li Longji was discussing national affairs with hundreds of civil and military officials, and suddenly got the news of Pei Min, and the court exploded.

"How can it be!"

Li Longji was so angry that he claimed to be Mingjun, and consciously cultivated civil rule inside and martial arts outside during his time outside, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty were now peaceful and surrendered.

But he didn't want to be complacent, so Tuqi Shi attacked with heavy troops, which was like a slap in the face, making his cheeks hurt.

"Hateful traitor! I thought of his sincerity and married Princess Jiaohe, but I didn't want to dare to invade my Tang territory in just one year. ”

Li Longji looked at the military department and said, "The military department has not been affected by the situation in Anxi? ”

The military department Shangshu looked confused, and said: "The minister has indeed not received the situation from Anxi, maybe he is on the way!" Guogong uses Feishu to transmit, which is faster. ”

Li Longji said: "What do you think of Pei Guogong's invitation?" ”

Li Yuanhong, the new prime minister, said: "The minister thinks it is inappropriate, and the situation in Anxi is unknown. Whether support will be needed is unknown. As soon as Pei Guogong moved, the military horses of Hexi and Longyou moved, and the financial and material resources consumed were incalculable. If Anxi has the ability to protect himself and is enough to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, wouldn't it be a waste of financial and material resources if the country marched westward? ”

Yu Wenrong, who is also a servant of the household department, also said: "Li Fu's words are reasonable, my court is in the western capital of Anxi, and foreign enemies invade, and our own Anxi military horses are responsible for resisting. Before the situation in Anxi was known, he mobilized the army without authorization. In the event that the Anxi army is up and down, the foreign enemy invades. This is a good move, so it chills the hearts of the Anxi soldiers. Moreover, the military situation on the Anxi side has not yet arrived, and it is inappropriate to only listen to Pei Guogong's words alone, but it is inappropriate to mobilize the people. ”

Li Longji frowned slightly, hesitating slightly.

Prime Minister Zhang said that this matter came out of the class: "The minister's views are different from those of Li Fujiao and Yuwen Shilang. It is true that the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is responsible for the military affairs of Anxi, but before that, the deputy Metropolitan Protector Du Siamding resigned, and now everything in Anxi is in charge of Fumeng Lingcha. Fumeng Lingcha's strategy may not be as outstanding as Du Xianam's, and he can command the countries of the Western Regions to resist foreign invasions. ”

As soon as Zhang's voice fell, Yu Wenrong immediately said: "Du Xian can recommend Fu Meng Lingcha, pay attention to show that Fu Meng Lingcha is capable, why is Zhang Xiang sure that Fu Meng Lingcha can't do it?" ”

In the court, intrigue is always indispensable.

Zhang said that as the prime minister, his radical ideas in favor of the military are different from the conservative ideas of many civil servants, and there are inevitable contradictions.

Li Yuanhong and Yu Wenrong are this kind of people.

They felt that Zhang Shuo, as the prime minister, had a close relationship with a foreign minister, and he did things without regard for the people's livelihood and attacked each other.

Zhang Shuo ignored Yu Wenrong, but continued to look at Li Longji, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, the situation in Anxi is no better than others. Except for Broken Leaf and Qiuzi, all other places in Anxi are not completely under the control of our dynasty. We surrender to our dynasty because we believe that our dynasty will be able to protect them. Therefore, they willingly accept the dispatch of our court, and are willing to take taxes and pay tribute to our court, but if their people's country is plundered because of the turnover of personnel. What will they think, will they feel that we are not capable of protecting them? The development of the Western Regions is the main direction of our Datang in the future, and it must not be chaotic. ”

"And, Your Majesty. Pei Guogong's military strategy is well known. He was like Duke Wei during Taizong and Duke Xing Guo during Gaozong, when it came to military intervention, no one was better than him. He judged that there was a need for rescue, and there must be a reason. ”

Li Longji still believes in Pei Min very much, at least at the level of military strategy, Li Yuanhong and Yu Wenrong are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, and they said: "You can return to the emergency appointment, and order Pei Guogong to be the general manager of the Yili Road march, and go west to Anxi, there must be no mistake." ”
